In vitro fibrillogenesis of tropocollagen type III in collagen type I affects its relative fibrillar topology and mechanics
Abstract Tropocollagen types I and III were simultaneously fibrilized in vitro, and the differences between the geometric and mechanical properties of the heterotypic fibrils with different mixing ratios of tropocollagen III to I were investigated. Transmission electron microscopy was used to confir...
